A method for producing a coil includes casting; a semi-finished product in a cavity of a casting tool and the coil is formed following a demolding of the semi-finished product by shaping this semi-finished product, wherein the form of the semi-finished product may be derived from a shape of the finished coil by stretching along a longitudinal axis of the coil and/or by bending this longitudinal axis, and wherein the semi-finished product, during the shaping, is bent and compressed so that windings of the coil already present in the semi-finished product are brought closer to one another at least in some regions and are brought into an arrangement along the longitudinal axis of the finished coil, wherein the product, whilst being shaped, is twisted or bent by no more than a right angle over the course of each individual turn.

A transformer includes a first winding arranged around an axis, and a second winding arranged around the axis. The second winding includes a litz wire having an end portion located at an axial end position of the second winding and a middle portion located at an axial middle position of the second winding. The litz wire has a first cross section at the end portion and a second cross section at the middle portion, the cross sections each including in a quadrant between the axial outward direction and the direction pointing towards the first winding a curvature extending between the axial outward direction and the direction pointing towards the first winding. The curvature of the first cross section is smaller than the curvature of the second cross section thereby reducing the peak magnitude of the electrical field between the end portion of the second winding and the first winding.

The invention relates to a method for producing a winding for an inductive component with the steps of: producing a sheet-like, one-piece and electrically conductive blank, the blank having at least a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion and a strip-shaped winding portion of a constant width, and deforming the sheet-like blank to form a winding by means of wrapping the winding portion around a bending form.
